Next time yu hear a funny jke yu'd better nt laugh t hard. Accrding t a paper published by the British Medical Jurnal, laughter isn't always the best medicine. Smetimes it can even be harmful. Prfessr Rbin Ferner frm the University f Birmingham, ne f the authrs f the study, fund that bad things culd happen t peple wh laughed t much. He says, “We fund peple with heartbeat prblems which had stpped their hearts, we fund peple wh had
fainted(昏倒), and we fund peple wh'd dislcated their jaws r burst their lungs.”
It seems that laughing can be n laughing matter. But it's nt all dm and glm. Prfessr Ferner says there are benefits f laughing when yu want t lse weight, fr
example. Yes, that's right: laugh and be slimmer! Prfessr Ferner explains that, “Yu use energy when yu laugh, yu mve yur diaphragm( 横 膈 膜 ), yu expand yur lungs, and all f thse things can be helpful.”
Accrding t the research, laughing fr a quarter f an hur can burn up t 40 calries, and if yu laugh all day yu will use up abut 2,000 calries, which is what mst peple cnsume in a day. But dn't d that r yu might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or yu might find peple lking at yu in a funny way.
But I dn't want t finish this article leaving yu feeling desperate. Laughter cmes naturally fr mst f us. Babies begin t laugh at arund 3~6 mnths. S give in t yur sense f humur and keep smiling. Life is shrt anyway.

The Internet has pened up a whle new nline wrld fr us t meet, chat and g where we've never been befre.

If smene in the chat rm is rude t yu, yur instinct(本能) is t fire back in
the same manner. But try nt t d s. 39 If it was caused by a disagreement with anther member, try t fix the situatin by plitely discussing it. Remember t respect the belief and pinins f thers in the chat rm.
40 Offer advice when asked by newcmers, as they may nt be sure what t d r hw t cmmunicate. When smene makes a mistake, whether it's a stupid questin r an unnecessarily lng answer, be kind abut it. If it's a small mistake, yu may nt need t say anything. Even if yu feel strngly abut it, think twice befre saying anything.

It is nt plite t ask thers persnal questins such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless yu knw the persn very well, and yu are bth cmfrtable with sharing persnal infrmatin, dn't ask such questins.
It's natural that there are sme peple wh speak rudely r make mistakes nline.
Repeat the prcess till yu feel sure that yu'd feel cmfrtable saying the wrds t the persn's face.
Everyne was new t the netwrk nce.
The basic rule is simple: treat thers in the same way yu wuld want t be treated.
When yu send shrt messages t a persn nline, yu must say smething beautiful t hear.
Yu shuld either ignre the persn, r use yur chat sftware t blck his/her messages.
If yu d decide t tell smene abut a mistake, pint it ut plitely.
